Using Blogs

  • Unknown's avatar

    How can I use the blog functions of these pages on my own site. In other words, I’ve done the layout with my own HTML, CSS, and Javacsript and would like to include a blog from here on that page not using any layout or format than my own. Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You can’t upload your own theme to WordPress.com; you can only make CSS modifications to our themes.

    If you’re looking to build a custom theme, you should use the self-hosted WordPress software.

    See the “Set Up Your Own Version of WordPress” section on this site:

    What I mean actually isn’t about making my own theme but more like this: Having nothing to do with WordPress I have put together my own site with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I would like to put a blog into an element of one of those pages such as Aside or Section.

    One way to put it, I guess, would be if you can link the blog to be part of my own site which is done manually so that a client is able to take care of the blogs while I manage the site editing the code myself through Adobe Code or Sublime text.

    If you want to explore mapping a subdomain of your website to a blog here, see this support document: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-subdomain/ .

    The other possibility would be to do it within an iframe on your website, but that really isn’t the best way to go for search engines.

    I would vote for the subdomain.

    Alternately, you could install the WordPress.org software on your web host (if they support it) and do either a subdomain or a subdirectory. That of course would be more work for you (upgrades and such) whereas here at WordPress.com, all that pesky stuff is handled for you.
